Codex usage resets

Look for a row dated today: if there is one, a reset happened. Then check its type. A usage reset clears your usage right away; a banked reset is credited to your account and only takes effect when you use it on the usage page. The headline counts time since the latest record of either type. Each record links Tibo’s original post. For your own reset times, check chatgpt.com/codex/settings/usage or /status in the CLI.

Open the original post on the record and check which kind it was: a usage reset applies directly, while a banked reset only clears your usage once you use it on the usage page. Then refresh the usage page, which can lag. Also make sure you are signed in to the account and workspace that received it. If it still has not changed, contact OpenAI support: they do not reset limits by hand, but they do check whether a reset was applied.

No. Your account's 5-hour and weekly limits reset on their own schedule. This site only records the extra, officially announced one-off usage resets and the banked resets handed out. An announcement time is not your account's reset time.

A usage reset applies directly: the limits of the users covered by the announcement clear at once. A banked reset (once called a reset card) is credited to an eligible account and takes effect only when you use it.

Banked resets →

Open chatgpt.com/codex/settings/usage and use it from the row that shows an available reset; /usage in the CLI works too. One use refreshes both the 5-hour limit and the weekly limit, and the next weekly reset is 7 days after the first message you send afterwards, so send one right away. Banked resets expire: the date is shown in your account, and an expired one is not replaced.

Banked resets →

Normally it resets once a week. After a reset (a banked, automatic or purchased one), the new week starts with your first message after the reset, and the next weekly reset is 7 days after that message—not after payment or the reset itself. So send a message soon after a reset, or the next weekly reset comes later. Settings → Usage and /status show your times.

Weekly usage limits →

It depends on the plan. On July 12, 2026 Codex temporarily removed the 5-hour limit for Plus, Business and Pro; it came back for Plus around August 25. Pro currently has none and is bound only by the weekly limit. Where the limit applies, it resets 5 hours after your first message. Both changes were announced by Tibo on X.

Not with regular ChatGPT conversations; those are counted separately. What is shared is Codex across its own surfaces: signed in with the same ChatGPT account, the CLI, the IDE extension, the web and ChatGPT Work task execution all draw from one Codex allowance. Usage with an API key is billed separately at API rates.

First check whether your account holds a banked reset; if it does, use it on the usage page. Otherwise wait for the limit to reset, or buy extra usage on the usage page if your plan offers it. OpenAI support does not reset limits by hand.

Tibo is Thibault Sottiaux (@thsottiaux), who leads Codex at OpenAI. Codex usage resets and banked resets are announced from his X account, so the community calls them Tibo resets. This site records his public posts, one event per announcement; to see whether Codex reset today, check the first row of the table on this page.

Codex records cover public announcements from Tibo. Each record links to the original post and lists its time, type and scope.

There is no fixed schedule. The next estimate is based on recent records and time already waited; with limited history it is only a rough estimate. The date may change; it is not an official schedule or your personal usage reset time. Follow announcements from OpenAI.

If you find a missing Codex reset announcement, share its original post link in the Telegram group in the reminder panel.
